Carrie Underwood's performance at President Trump's second inauguration is a sign of changing times. Unlike eight years ago, more celebrities are openly supporting the new administration. While Trump's first inauguration struggled to attract stars, this time around, names like Kid Rock, Billy Ray Cyrus, and The Village People are participating. Even controversial figures like Snoop Dogg have changed their tune. Professor Robert Thompson from Syracuse University notes that while Hollywood leans liberal, the division between celebrities and Trump seems less stark. Some celebrities, like Carrie Underwood, have faced backlash, but their involvement won't likely sway political views. Instead, it might change how people perceive the artists. Trump has also named celebrities like Sylvester Stallone as ambassadors for his new entertainment mission. Meanwhile, anti-Trump celebrities have been less vocal than in the past. Events like The Creative Coalition's fundraiser for military families show that some celebrities prefer to stay nonpartisan. A Concert for America will be held simultaneously in New York and Los Angeles, focusing on wildfire relief and human rights, not protesting Trump's inauguration. The event aims to promote unity and action.
